The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) is an international forum of governmental space agencies that coordinates efforts to address the challenges posed by man-made and natural space debris. Established in 1993, the IADC facilitates the exchange of information on space debris research, identifies mitigation options, and promotes cooperation among its 13 member agencies, including NASA, ESA, CNES, and JAXA. The IADC provides technical recommendations and guidelines for space debris mitigation, contributing to the long-term sustainability of outer space activities. Keywords associated with IADC are: space debris, mitigation, coordination, international cooperation, and space sustainability.
